Activate Membership

Invalid activation code

You supplied an invalid activation code. There are three main causes for this problem:

You already activated your membership, so the activation code is no longer available.

Activation codes are good for one activation only; they cannot be reused. For example, if you change the e-mail address on your membership and have to re-activate, you can't re-use the activation code from when you first registered your membership.

Your e-mail software corrupted the activation link (for example, by splitting it among two separate lines in the e-mail).

Go back into the activation e-mail to see if the link to this page was corrupted. You can try to assemble the link back into one line, and then paste the entire link into your browser's Address line and press Enter. Be sure there are no spaces in the link.

The activation code has expired.

For security reasons, your activation code is only valid for 24 hours. Use the Re-send Activation E-mail button below to generate a new one.
